I have just resolved myself to the fact that I should happily accept the convenience of frozen foods in my life for the next two weeks.
Convenience is key when you come home starving at 8pm and cooking is not an option unless you want to binge on an entire box of cereal while waiting for water to boil.
Dinner was a double whammy of frozen deliciousness. First, a LC (Lean Cuisine) frozen pizza. It’s no Roundtable, but it’s better than chomping on 2 whole sleeves of crackers dipped in PB 🙂
And the best new ice cream find! A chocolate dipped ice cream for 130 calories. If you didn’t believe in miracles before you will now. Love it. 
Buyer Beware: This product may cause you to eat ice cream for snacks on a daily basis. Sometimes breakfast too. 
Ben and I actually got home before the sun went down and took the dogs for a super short walk around the block (they’re used to 2.5 milers). Apparently Ben thinks it’s a good idea to take pics of me in the most unflattering angle possible – from behind.
Oh and my cat is dead.
Just kidding, he is just being weird. As am I.
Breathe – Keep the fights clean and the sex dirty. Unsolicited relationship advice from yours truly…
I’d have to say I can’t stomach those LC meals.
make up a huge batch of something on the weekend then reheat is my best advice.
I can’t keep low-calorie ice cream bars in my house or I’ll end up eating the whole box!
I have been eyeing those ice cream bars. YUM!
I used to eat tons of Amy’s frozen burritos, Smart Ones Santa Fe beans and rice and Lean Cuisine pizzas. I feel you. But definitely better than fast food or boxes of cereal!
They may not be the healthiest option (like a homecooked lunch) but a lot of the Lean Cusines are pretty tasty. They are fast, easy to make at work and are low calories. While I’d prefer to make my lunch every day, I just don’t have time.
I have many times found myself STARVING when I get home so I eat a snack that is really a meal. Then by the time dinner is ready, I’m stuffed (usually with something like cereal or crackers and soynut butter).
Perhaps this weekend you can try to make a few meals that can be thrown in the microwave when you get home? Or even make some sandwiches…?
Aww, I love when cats lay like that. Mine do it all the time and people have made the joke that they are dead too!
LOL on the eating a whole box of cereal while waiting for water to boil. So true!
That is the hardest part of cooking a real meal for me. If I don’t eat a big lunch or mid-afternoon snack I get home and raid my kitchen while something is cooking in the oven. Sometimes, you just have to pick the lesser of evils, right?
I’ve been tempted many times to buy these ice cream bars. Now my temptation has just grown. I foresee them in my cart next trip! 😉
I have those ice cream treats, too. I also tried the Breyer’s ice cream sandwiches; I like the cookie dough flavor.
Ooo i hate coming home late and not wanting to cook! i usually grab cereal and then feel guilty for not having any veg! I really need to start bulk making and freeze portions ready to shove in the microwave!
I agree that it’s exhausting to come home late, and on those nights I NEVER want to slave in the kitchen! I definitely don’t always plan again as good as I wish I did, but on a good week I’ll make a huge pan of lasagna or a big crockpot of chili, stew, etc. and will package it up in tupperware for lunches and dinners for the week. It isn’t perfect but it gets me through those long weeks 🙂
That sounds better than what I’m doing! Yum to lasagna 🙂
I love those ice creams! I got the caramel flavor though, since I’m not a chocolate ice cream fan.
